A high-level BJP delegation met Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Wednesday and complained against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s “terrorist” reference for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.“We are hurt and anguished, we are outraged. With a very heavy heart we met the EC today and demanded strictest possible action against the Congress president. While the EC will take its call, we pledge to eradicate every single terrorist under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said.He was flanked by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal.Rijiju said the Congress pattern of abusing the prime minister goes back to 2007 when Sonia Gandhi used the words “Maut ka saudagar”.“Thereafter the Congress leaders made it a habit to call PM names. He was called “neech” (lowly), poisonous snake, and what not. The people of India will give a befitting reply to the Congress, which had crossed all limits of decency,” said Rijiju.The BJP wants Kharge booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita besides being given a warning not to repeat the conduct and an order to all social media platforms to take down the offensive post.
